Brain & Communication
Birds: Small Cerebral Cortex

Chimps: enlarged plenum temporale in L hemisphere, assumed to

be associated with language

Whale : 11 lbs

Human: 14oz at birth to 46oz max.

Brain available after managing body: amount, relative to body size,

increases in vertebrates and culminates in humans
COMMUNICATION IN BEES

Bees communicate via different flight

patterns

Bees perform Waggle Dance when they

find source of food to communicate it to
other bees.

The Waggle Dance is performed in the

Pattern 8…
The Waggle Dance gives the
Direction of source of food.

Waggle Dance is based on Vector

Calculus.

The quality of food is also

communicated.

The Dancing Also gives the distance

of the source.
How do bees communicate?
 • Uses Sound more effectively
• Has Eyes but low visibility
• Lives in Caves or Old forts
• Only flying mammal
Communication Among Bats
• Echolocation
• Image of obstacle is created
• Echo of Voice is heard
• Emits Ultrasonic voice(high frequency)
• Bats use sound for Recognize obstacles, food and other bats
Echolocation
• Male Sings in High and Short notes to communicate with other males
• Male Sings in Long notes to woo the female bat
• Male and female voices are different
• Each bat has a Distinct voice
• Bat Chirps and sings to communicate with other bats
Communication Among Bats
BIRDS
• Threat Call
• Migration Call
• Courtship Call
• Territory Call

Modes of Sound Communication

Callers: usually make stereotyped

sound

Listeners : respond to the calls by

return calling, by approach, and
by going silent
Different Sounds

Communication

Threat Call
 Communication Among Mammals

• The Elephants:
• Sound Detection
• Sound Production
• Elephants produce a broad range of sounds from very low frequency
rumbles to higher frequency trumpets, snorts, barks, roars & cries
• Omni directional
Infrasound Communication
The area below human hearing is known as
infrasound

Human frequency range is 20Hz to 20K Hz. A

humans male’s voice fluctuates around 110Hz and
female’s voice around 220 Hz

Among elephants, a typical male rumble fluctuates

around 12 Hz and that of female’s 22Hz

This signal travels around 10km in favorable

condition and it is called as rumble
Seismic communication

When an elephant rumbles a replica of the airborne sound is

also transmitted through the ground and used as seismic signal

Seismic energy transmits most efficiently between the 10 and

40 Hz

They sense this seismic signal through bone conduction and the
use of massive ossicles of their middle ears

Also they hit the ground with great force and waves produced
because of that, they used it as signal of danger
• Eyesight
• visual communication is how
elephants make use of
postures, displays and their
sense of sight in
communication
Chemical Communication
Chemical communication explains how elephants use
various secretions and their acute sense of smell to
communicate

They use trunk to sniff around and gathers information

about other elephants and surrounding

Chemical communication provides an energetically

efficient and long-lasting signal
